EA Play gives you the earliest opportunity to play FIFA 23.

"Start your season first with a 10-hour trial – days before release. Save 10% on pre-orders with your member discount, plus unlock monthly rewards, and a library of top titles."
There are also several perks that come with becoming an EA Play member as well as early access, including rewards in Ultimate Team and VOLTA, and also 10% off pre-orders.
